Cyber Security: An Issue that Keeps on Growing

Tuesday, February 2, 2016
6:00 pm

NOTE OUR NEW LOCATION!
Baker Hostetler
45 Rockefeller Plaza
Our Host: Dennis Cohen

Cyber security is an issue that only grows in every corner of our global garden. Some would say it is an invasive weed with no herbicide in sight.

Every day, we face headlines in the media, from government agencies, our corporate governance departments and companies that tell us they have software to stop the problems. At every turn, there is an atmosphere of apprehension and trepidation.

What can a company do to guard itself and its clients? Can we stop the malicious organizations that steal our data, listen and gain access to our conversations and compromise the integrity of our business operations?

A panel of experts from various cyber related industry sectors will offer their perspectives and knowledge on this vital issue:

Chris Moschovitis, tmg-emedia, strategies and practices
Galya Datskovsky, Vapor Stream, products
Shawn Bernabeu, HUB International, insurance
Jerry Ferguson, Baker Hostetler, law

Our moderator will be Anna Murray of tmg-emedia, who specializes in software development.

This is an opportunity for attendees to listen to industry leaders who have a deep understanding of the ways in which business managers can defend and protect their organizations in the continual struggle with cyber security issues.

We look forward to seeing you at our new venue.

Please reply to this email or to RSVP@TMGR.COM to let us know you plan to attend.

NOTE OUR NEW LOCATION!
Baker Hostetler, 45 Rockefeller Plaza

What if public relations were not the exclusive domain of the largest firms with large PR agencies? What if the power of the media was available to everyone?

With the plethora of outlets now available, there has never been a better time to harness and leverage the power of the media.

Jess Todtfeld, President of Success in Media is a television producer, media/PR consultant, bestselling author and Guinness record setter for being interviewed 112 times in 24 hours.

He will lead an interactive conversation about the range of PR options and tools that support corporate messaging and delivery.

He will answer these relevant, timely questions:

What would it mean if your prospects and clients could experience what you do before you ever talk to them?
How would it help if your most satisfied clients spoke about your work (instead of you) on videos others could see?
Are there ways internet media can help you get traditional press?

Jess provides an insider’s perspective on the new opportunities and strategies at our finger tips.

Digital Media ROI Blueprint for Success: What You Need to Know

with
Gerard Boucher

Tuesday, August 4, 2015
6:00 pm
Yale Club, Room TBA

Everyone knows that digital media is something they – and their organization – need to embrace. References to today’s digital world are all around us and there is a sense of urgency to adopt digital marketing techniques in your business or be left behind.

The vital questions about the use of digital media are:

For whom and for what purposes is it the optimal communications choice
How and when should it be used
What are the best ROI metrics by which it can be measured

It’s clear that digital media plays a leading role in today’s marketing for organizations small and large alike. However, is digital media the right fit for everyone? Does social media produce sales? Do small businesses need to be on Facebook? These questions must be discussed to unlock the true benefits of digital media.

The right balance between sales and thought leadership is hard to strike, but when it’s struck the returns can be large and lasting. When you lay the right digital media foundation in your organization, ROI is clear, present, and scalable for years to come. In this talk, you will learn the specific tools needed to unleash hidden ROI in digital media and fuel your organization’s short and long-term goals.

Gerard Boucher, Founder and CEO of Boucher + Co., launched his first website when he was just 8 years old. Since then, he operated a leading entertainment website for nearly a decade, and learned the secrets to building a successful brand and customer loyalty. Under his leadership, Gerard has implemented successful digital media campaigns for over 50 companies across many industries, and established Boucher + Co. as a leading marketing agency in the New York market.

We look forward to seeing you at the Yale Club. Please check with the front desk on the exact meeting location when you arrive.

The Neuroscience of Business Relationships

with Nora Simpson

Tuesday, May 5, 6:00 pm

Building professional relationships is a critical part of business success. Without relationships based in trust and authentic connection, attempts to create value and service will suffer. When trust and authentic connection are present between clients, vendors, and colleagues, value, productivity and collaboration can reach remarkably successful levels.

Most people can agree on some level that strong professional relationships are important. But the specifics of how to transform difficult relationships into healthy ones, and how to deepen the quality of already good relationships can feel elusive.

The science of the brain can tell us EXACTLY why someone is opening up or closing off quickly to our attempts to connect in a business context. When we “click” with someone in business, it feels easy and fun. But when others reject us, it can feel frustrating and confusing. In this talk, you will learn concrete tools you can use RIGHT AWAY to create the right “click” with almost everyone as you build deep, authentic, high-integrity connections across your business life.

Nora Simpson, CEO of Simpson Strategic Solutions, is widely recognized as a business pioneer and the creator of the field of Experiential Neuroscience. Nora has successfully implemented her groundbreaking neuroscience-based concrete business tools with more than 100 companies in 40+ industries and over 10,000 individuals to create radical breakthroughs in revenue, profit, productivity and fulfillment.

It Does Matter: The Details of Self-Presentation Are the Message

with Oona Chanel

April 7, 6:00 pm

Everyone in business is always in front of people who can and do make a difference in our professional lives. Much of their impressions is based on our self-presentation.

Studies show that business people who dress to represent themselves as managers of a particular business sector provide the best cues that they are authentic and believable.

Oona Chanel is a renowned expert in the discipline of self-presentation. She will demonstrate how visual signals impact corporate decision makers, team members, prospective clients, employees and the media.

Details are telling. And that does not mean expensive jewelry or hair styles. More often, small and simple things can make a big difference in the eyes of those around us.

Oona has the creds: high end runway editorial model, serial entrepreneur, and internationally acclaimed fashion consultant who has worked for major European fashion houses.

Recently, Oona founded and is the Editor-in-Chief of a new fashion magazine to be published by Scandinavian Media Ventures.

Advance registration is required, as seating is limited.

The Affordable Health Care Act:
Current Prognosis and our Health Care Future

SEPTEMBER 12, 2013 (Room TBA), 6:00pm

Kyle Healy
Vice President Group Benefits – Lenox Advisors

The media continues its voracious buzz about the pros and cons about The Affordable Health Care Act. Politicos and pundits debate what should have been, what should be and what will be as we all try to understand the impact of Obamacare.

Kyle Healy, Vice President Group Benefits at Lenox Advisors, a top financial management firm, has extensive experience with benefits and labor issues. He is uniquely qualified to address this timely and profoundly important topic.

Many managers, in both public and private sector organizations, are unsure about how to proceed in the era of health care exchanges, or marketplaces, that offer choices of plans and options. The exchanges promise corporate efficiency versus the often-criticized inefficiency of the current health plan protocols. But the questions are many, and the path very complex.

Please join us to hear how Kyle, sees how Obamacare will impact virtually every American company and individual in both broad and narrow ways.
